OK, thanks, if they're just normal drops I won't bother with the save game. I already entered the codes prior to 7/4 and didn't won't to end up burning something nice.
No, it's just a random loot drop, of a specific type. You don't have to enter the code immediately. It should be available for a number of days, so you could always get a number of levels first before it expires.
I think ideally you want to finish playthrough 2 before doing any of the DLC, because at that point (I believe) all the DLC scales with your level (up to level 50 anyway). You have to start Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode for things to scale past 50 I believe.
My highest character is a lvl 36 Zerker so I'm only a little ways into TVHM at this point.
I wouldn't do that. Then you won't be able to appreciate the different tiers of power increases. You have nothing really to look forward to at that point other than gear.
fyi.....We are are just mopping up TVHM side missions and doing DLC...enemies are scaling into the low 50's into the DLC....we are level 55.
So far we've done Sir Hammerlock and the Carnage one. Last night we finally took down Terramorphis...hurray... kind of bummed though, im siren and my bro's Assasssin and he drops a orange Gunzerker mod...Seriously??
I think you're ignoring one important thing. Those codes that provide a class mod base the level on the next character that you load. For example, I loaded up my level 50 Mechromancer, and all of the class mods that I received are level 50. If you wanted max level (61) class mods, you would need to either wait to enter the code or download a character.
...or you could just use a save game editor and artificially raise your level for the time being!
True, you could do it temporarily. I didn't know there were save editors.
Do you know if there is an equivalent of that Willowgame or whatever app there was for BL1, for BL2?
The only thing that I don't see in that editor that was in the original WillowTree is the ability to edit quest status.
Terra ALWAYS drops a orange class mod. Just keep killing him and you will get one for your character.
I'm starting TVHM now that I've beaten the main game. I haven't done any DLC yet. I guess I'm going to wait until I beat TVHM to play the DLC's. This game does a poor job of helping guide you as to do what when.
yeah, it was the same problem with the first one. I thought they would have fixed the balancing and mob level issues, but it actually seems to be planned.
Bear in mind that for early buyers, there is no DLC, so a lot of players already have a few characters through 2 playthroughs by the time DLC is released, so the impetus is to give content meant for higher levels. I suppose the only way to make that work for some players like us that purchase it all together, is to scale the levels, which ends up being a poor experience if you want hard content at later levels.
The first DLC came out maybe a month or so after the game.
I just completed TVHM and about to start the DLCs... my question is if I should be playing the DLCs in TVHM or UVHM? And is there any order to which to play the DLCs?
Do them on UVHM, if you do them on TVHM and level past about 54 or so the level 50 equipment TVHM drops will severely handicap you when you do decide to do UVHM. To the point of it being nearly impossible to kill anything.

Shit I'm already about to level to 53, what to do?
You can always de-level to around lvl 50 once you get to UVHM.
That said, perhaps it's not THAT bad. Once you get to UVHM, if you're lvl ~54, all the enemies will be around that level too I believe, or perhaps a level higher. I suppose I'd worry about that once you get there. You'll probably find gear replacement soon enough anyway.
You can de-level in UVHM? How do you do that?
